Something must have soured between them though. Biden campaigned for Hillary harder than Obama did.

Of course the MSM won't touch it , the source is Infowars.
When did they become credible ?
Socrates one of my favorite philosophers once said the strength of an argument should be based solely on the merits of the argument and not who the orator is.

That quote would be fitting if we were dealing with an argument. We are dealing with an expose' where the credibility/reliability of the source is 100% essential due to the fact that supposed events and timelines are at the root.
What is unfathomable to me is during this day and age of immediate access to information and the world wide surveillance state that overt criminal activity as blatant as this gets absolutely zero coverage by the MSM.

Let's just be blunt here. It is time everybody look it square in the eye and understand that the MSM is just another arm of the far left factions that have a globalist agenda. Main stream America is in their way.
Obama liked to use the phrase "bad optics". IMO, any negative reporting or in depth investigation of this would look bad on the Obama administration and their chosen player, Hillary.
Unfortunately, alternative news sources sometimes reveal these things, and even though their credibility can be questioned sometimes, they are not always wrong. Many many times they are right. Just look at the National Inquirer. They broke several stories, although sensational sounding, turned out to be true. (John Edwards comes to mind.)

Here's Corsi & Weldon:
Very brief.
...Furthermore, three FBI field offices wanted to investigate the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation has been the subject of quid pro quo controversies, from an AP reportto weapons deals. Last year’s AP Report states millions in donations correlated with access to America’s Secretary of State:
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.
If you replace Clinton with Trump in the story above, how would Washington Post journalists react? 85 people give $156 million to Trump’s foundation and nobody questions the transfer of money?
This story (if Trump were the subject) would spark outrage today. Instead, Vox and others defended Clinton and denied any possible conflict to interest.
As for the uranium deal (approved under an Obama administration that eventually sanctioned Russia for alleged election tampering), it’s similar to Clinton’s weapons deal scandal reported by the International Business Times. Read the International Business Times article titled Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
But even though Trump the candidate asserted that Clinton's association-via-foundation with Vekselberg was a problem and a sign she was too cozy with Putin, Trump the president-elect has welcomed into his administration a businessman with a much tighter and more financially significant relationship with Vekselberg: Wilbur Ross, the billionaire investor who has specialized in distressed assets and who is now Trump's pick for commerce secretary.
For the past two years, Ross has been a business partner with Vekselberg in a major financial project involving the Bank of Cyprus, the country's largest and most significant financial institution. A financial crisis in 2013 led to the bank's collapse and eventual bailout. The bank had held billions in deposits from wealthy Russians—some of it presumably dirty money or funds deposited there to escape Russian taxation—and during its restructuring, a large amount of these deposits were converted into shares, giving Russian plutocrats a majority ownership (on paper) of the bank.
In October 2014, Wilbur Ross unveiled a new board of directors for the Bank of Cyprus. He would be one of the members of the board and so would Maksim Goldman, a Renova executive representing Vekselberg's interests. Also on this board was Vladimir Strzhalkovskiy, a previous board member whom Russia Today a year earlier had identified as a Putin associate and former KGB official. Ross and Vekselberg also recruited Josef Ackermann, a former head of Deutsche Bank, to come in as chairman. This was another Russian connection. As Bloomberg reported, "Ackermann, a regular visitor to the Putin-hosted St. Petersburg International Economic Forum while head of Deutsche Bank, is a director of Renova Management AG, an industrial holding company controlled by Vekselberg....
The Bank of Cyprus website currently lists Ross and Renova's Goldman as its vice chairmen, Strzhalkovskiy is no longer on the board, according to the website.(This year, he joined the board of an agriculture bank totally owned by the Russian government, according to SKRIN Market & Corporate News.)

I hope you are right and I am wrong but no matter how I look at it the ties between the Trump administration and Russia are many , I think the situation is a powder keg awaiting a spark and fear the repercussions when that spark occurs
